Customers are saying

Customers are positive about the SuperDrive 8x External USB Double-Layer DVD±RW/CD-RW Drive's ease of use, USB connectivity, and compact size. Many appreciate its compatibility with various systems and its performance in burning and reading discs. However, some customers find the price to be a bit high. A minor drawback mentioned is the lack of a physical eject button and a short power cord.

    When I bought my Mac I was pretty bummed to see that it did not include a DVD drive. It was a bummer to have to spend more money to get one but it is very easy to use and no issues at all.

    Easy to install. Used c port for USB. Has worked well. I still think Apple is ripping off customers by not including a drive in the Mini.

    Awesome product for when you still need to use some DVD or CDs... Unit is slim and sleek and runs off of USBpower so no need for a power supply.

    The drive works great with my MacBook Pro. It is a perfect marriage of technology and innovation. Make sure you get the right adapter for connecting it to your MacBook.

    Total plug and play. Some reviewers had trouble ejecting a disc. It was straightforward and not an issue at all. Best Buy's price and free shipping was less expensive than the Apple store

    My older laptops had internal drives. Having this external is no issue as I get most of my content online. The thickness saved is worth the extra couple of steps to hook up and play a CD/DVD

    Works great with my iMac. It confused me because it doesn't show up in finder or on the desktop until you put a cd in it. Spent a lot of time trying to find it but it doesn't appear until something is in it. Other than that it works as expected.

    Had never used external drive but found this an easy addition to use. Great for listening to CD's or burning new discs. It does make a little noise when operating which could be common with all players.

    I opted out of purchasing the MacBook Pro and got the MacBook Pro with retina display. I rarely use the drive, but when I do it works wonderfully.

    I have nothing to complain about the SuperDrive. I use it for my MacBook Air and my iMac. It's quick to connect and easy to use. I've had absolutely no problems with the disc, either reading or burning.

    The new desktops don’t have DVD/CD drives any more and this is the simplest way to load all those old CD’s. Great unit- no software, no apps, just plug and use.

    With the new Mac Books not having a superdrive anymore, this is a great addition. Plug and play. How much easier can it be? Being an Apple person, I expect to use this drive for quite a while.

    I bought two pop-out drives of lesser brands, but caved and got this one. I don't use an optical drive often. When I do, I want it to work.
